FOCUS Film Festival
The FOCUS Film Festival is NYU’s first ever film festival to amplify BIPOC storytellers. We are dedicated to supporting traditionally marginalized visions and voices. This festival is a celebratory space where we aim to come together as a community of changemakers, visionaries, and storytellers. Festival participants will have the opportunity to learn from a prominent BIPOC keynote speaker in the film industry. We will also hold Q & A sessions featuring emerging filmmakers, and there will be prizes to honor our award winners.
Friday, April 9th at 8 pm ET will be our inaugural event held over Zoom. Tune in to this event for a welcome address from a surprise mystery guest, a word from the FOCUS e-board about the mission of this festival, and an announcement of our award-winning directors across our 6 categories.
